True story: after this recording, the DVD had been viewed once. It's practically mint. And it's never gonna be watched again.

So we signed it, for posterity.

We got an interesting email from TinyChat tonight. "Say, if you wanna do this every week..."

More on that as it develops.

That's up to everyone else. No reason why not, I guess.

Testing it out now, btw.

Looks like we're a go for Surrogates and Empire at 4 p.m.-ish Pacific. (That's two and a half hours from the time of this post.)

Yeah, it'll be a private live show for the forum folk.

And you know what happens in private live shows.

Anyone want to watch us do Surrogates and Empire tomorrow? Wouldn't be a party show per se, but I can turn on the webcam if anyone's interested.

Hey, you like Star Trek.

I think my book would be Anathem or John Dies at the End. Anathem because it's my favorite of the long books I like, JDatE because it's funny, and that might be nice.

Hm.

I have no good answer to this.

Anathem is one of my favorite books, so I have to side with the "new words are fine" camp.

I'm suddenly curious how Dorkman feels about "Movers."

I know the Down in Front-able problems with it better than anyone, but in terms of making something with a ton of backstory compelling without explicitly giving anything away, I am interested how well it works for him.

The last survey had less than ten responses, this one has over twenty. Trends are emerging. Ian Malcolm is concerned.

Pulp Fiction, Heat, Moon, Indiana Jones, The Fifth Element and The Dark Knight are all leading the pack.

I think in Scott Pilgrim's case, the world as a video game is the magic bean and a poorly-executed justification. To contrast, a better solution would be to have a line in the beginning where Scott observes how much he loves video games and relates them to his life.

As of now, the movie simply is that with no justification.

EDIT: This might require elaboration on the nature of magic beans. It could be simply magic beans if the definition required absolutely no set-up for them.

For now, Scott Pilgrim Potter's story begins in his third year at Hogwarts and nobody hangs a lantern on all the magic wands.

In Scott Pilgrim the world is a video game for no discernible in-universe reason.
